Who We Are

We are The Navy & Marine Association. We are active duty, retired military and proud Americans, who serve without compensation. We are volunteers, who provide support for Sailors and Marines and their families. NMA also proudly sponsors over 400 awards annually for presentation by the Commanders of U.S. Naval Air Forces, U.S. Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Marine Forces Atlantic and Pacific, and the Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy to those officers and enlisted personnel who have been selected by their peers as outstanding leaders in their respective communities.

There has never been a more important time to recognize leaders, and care for our wounded and all our Marines, Sailors and their families as they continue to protect and defend the freedoms of this most grateful nation.
